The funny thing is we always think that we create for others, but no, artists create for each other in some form of cross-pollination. Artists make art for other artists to consume and vice versa! All those who love art are creatives in their own way #poetrytwitter #creatives

I, not even I look after me, Because you stripped me of my version of me, You chewed me up and spat me out, And now I lay there on the floor, Unconsumed and inconsumable... I just published Look To Care link.medium.com/HmcZSvstTIb #poetrycommunity #poetryislife #poet #poem

Dreams can sometimes be the strangest things, It's like living two lives, Haunted by your thoughts by day, Haunted by your dreams by night, No peace! #Poetry #PoemADay #poetryislife #poetrytwitter

I hate how I feel like I need permission to be an artist, As if I am not allowed somehow, To be the one thing I feel I am good at, For I am most alive when in a poem, I breathe better in the lyrics of a song, Please let me be an artist, So that I can truly live!

So up until today I never thought of independence day celebrations as break up anniversaries! We need to start those for actual relationships.

Today I felt it again, the feeling like I am not supposed to be a creative but to be what others expect me to be. Do you think we need to ask for permission to create?
